Just watched the fight again tonite and seen this thread by chance. Always had the impression it was a massive lucky escape for lewis. But on second viewing fight was rightly stopped. It looked to me like the cut came through a punch anyway. Either way lewis looked like he was the one to go on and win it. Was getting stronger and dont think vitali would have seen the bell tbh cut or no cut. Just my opinion of course.
Hagler/Leonard lately Herrera, esp. when Herrera beat the Garcia, everyone knew it too, not to mention his last fight............
